Am I blue?

Couple weeks ago after a rousing game of kickball - me and the BF went to a friends house for some 'za! It was my first experience with Lucy Blue's in Mt. Lookout. I'd had Ramundo's a few times and honestly wasn't a big fan - I didn't like the red pepper flakes... So how would this go?

First - love the box - it's so colorful! Nice to see a place actually take some time with the box art!

Scott got red pepper and mushroom - I loved it! The sauce, the cheese, the toppings - really great! It was greasy and flimsy but I liked it a lot!!!!

We got a couple pieces of pepperoni as well for the plain old meat-eating BF - it was good too!

This is a short and concise review - but I'd say - if you're in MTL and want some pizza - choose Lucy Blue's!

It's recipe time again! This time it comes not from a magazine or the interwebs - it comes from my Mom! My Mom is a baker - always has been, always will be. She makes a meatloaf so awful that a stray cat wouldn't even eat it (seriously - one of my favorite childhood memories). But my Mom - well she can bake her little a** off! (She's very tiny - 5'1".)

She provided me with her fruit cobbler recipe - it's been my favorite since childhood. She says that it came from our Grandma Grace whose parents brought this from the wagon train. My only question on this story is that I thought my great-grandparents were from Germany. Hmmmm - is my Mom pulling my leg? I choose to believe her...shhhh!

First cream the butter & sugar - obviously works best with softened butter. Then add the flour, salt, baking powder & milk and mix some more.

You can use canned, frozen or fresh fruit. Typically I use frozen but I didn't have time to wait for them to thaw so I went …

So I decided I'm going to try planning my weekly meals on Sundays. I've loosely done this before but money is tight so I need to make sure to stick to home-cooked meals instead of going out to eat or grabbing take out.

I also - have a plan for lunch/snacks that I have to share with you!

I found the idea last week on Clean Food Crush and loved it! You can use these packs for lunch itself or I used them as a breakfast/snack combo throughout the day.
I customized it a little for myself and what I like and am making them again this week. I put together four of these for last week and will do that again this week. And someone asked me on Facebook if everything stayed crisp and fresh and YES the cucumbers were as crisp on Friday as they were Monday. Also - the hard boiled eggs didn't stink up anything else. :-) Here's what I'm putting together today:
* Grapes
* Grape Tomatoes
* Strawberries (might dip a few in chocolate)
* Cucumber slices
* Celery sticks
* Jif-to-go pe…

I love love love Caramel Corn - but I'm not a very daring home chef and I just buy it - but I decided to be crazy and...MAKE IT MYSELF! I always thought caramel was this mysterious thing - but boy was I wrong!
Turns out - it's EASY and far more delicious than the stuff you buy in the store!! Who knew? I decided to be a little adventurous and make a Praline Caramel Corn. Pralines have nuts, sugar and cream...so how did I do it?

First stop - was Kroger! They have some great private label brands like Private Selection and Simple Truth that I am always bringing home. I had some of the popcorn at home - my husband loves snacking on it - but I picked up some Simple Truth brown sugar, Private Selection white chocolate chips and my favorite thing ever - Praline Pecans! I love those sugar pecans you get at festivals and I've made them before - but it's time consuming - so grabbing a can of these bad boys is much easier!!
I made the caramel from a recipe on Pioneer Woman - I …
